African writing : ウィキペディア英語版
African literature
African literature is literature of or from Africa and includes oral literature (or "ligature", in the term coined by Ugandan scholar Pio Zirimu).〔George, Joseph, "African Literature", in Gordon and Gordon, ''Understanding Contemporary Africa'' (1996), ch. 14, p. 303.〕
As George Joseph notes in his chapter on African literature in ''Understanding Contemporary Africa'', whereas European views of literature often stressed a separation of art and content, African awareness is inclusive:
:"Literature" can also imply an artistic use of words for the sake of art alone. ()raditionally, Africans do not radically separate art from teaching. Rather than write or sing for beauty in itself, African writers, taking their cue from oral literature, use beauty to help communicate important truths and information to society. Indeed, an object is considered beautiful because of the truths it reveals and the communities it helps to build.〔Joseph (1996), p. 304.〕
== Oral literature==
Oral literature (or orature) may be in prose or verse. The prose is often mythological or historical and can include tales of the trickster character. Storytellers in Africa sometimes use call-and-response techniques to tell their stories. Poetry, often sung, includes: narrative epic, occupational verse, ritual verse, praise poems to rulers and other prominent people. Praise singers, bards sometimes known as "griots", tell their stories with music.〔("African literature" at info-please. )〕 Also recited, often sung, are love songs, work songs, children's songs, along with epigrams, proverbs and riddles. A revised edition of Ruth Finnegan's classic book ''Oral Literature in Africa'' (Oral Literature in Africa ) was released by the Cambridge-based (Open Book Publishers ) in September 2012. 〔Joseph (1996), pp. 306-310.〕
